I now cannot edit posts (keep getting a 403 returned), but to be clear - I believe the same thing should happen for science as I would like in IT, perhaps even more so - immigration should be relaxed outside the parameters of H-1B, and it should be something fast-tracked as much as possible for this kind of work especially. Last thing we need to do is have even more of a brain-drain.
For IT, it’d be about calling the bluff of many companies saying they cannot find talent here for people to write code - for science, I’m sure it’s actually true that you really want to scour the globe for talent. But it’d also be ideal that they have as much autonomy as anyone else here in the workforce, and not tied down by one entity.
In the abstract I agree with you. The problem is that this administration has implemented this with absolutely no plan, no consultation, no protocols for implementations and no way to transition. To do what you suggest requires years of deliberate planning and funding of sciences so that there is continuity as the nation builds its domestic STEM workforce. Which by the were ALL THINGS NSF was studying and implementing before the administration gutted them.
